You're missing it happen right before your eyes! Every time a lobbyist writes the bills our congress passes, every time the state is defeated by the courts, every rollback of an EPA rule or opening of federal lands to drilling, every time a platform controls the speech of its users- those are all examples of our government's power shrinking! |

No they aren't. They are examples of the government's power growing and being manipulated. There's no power to manipulate if the government stays small.
So many of our problems today are the result of a government that is so large and powerful that it is more profitable to direct resources to lobbying instead of directing resources to providing better goods and services. When government is small, there is less incentive to corrupt it.
